Actually, the welfare state is good right now. Why? Because the fiat currencies of the world are going to collapse the whole thing anyway, if only by the implosion of their bubbles.

The welfare state is good right now, because it invites many little people to get onto welfare. If the little people are smart, they will use whatever welfare they get to buy things like land, gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Then, once they are set, who cares if the fiats crash the world.

The problem is, most of the little people on welfare won't understand this, and will never prepare. But for those of us who have a little foresight, we have the chance to prepare using the welfare state funds that we can get.
